Ms. Anita Goswami is punctual, consistent, hardworking, very knowlegable and dedicated to my childs unique need and growth curve in learning Hindi language. With her in the lead I can see my childs language confidence and understanding improve. My only recommendation for maximising productivity, childs engagement and knowlege retention is by use of altenative tools to keep kids engaged and curious during their class time as learners learn in diff ways visual, written, audio. Thanks Ms. Goswami for a great year of learning Hindi and more to come!

I have been studying Urdu with Raza since five years now. Initially I joined Ali´s group course for the Urdu script and then quickly some students were shifted to Raza to learn more Urdu. The classes in the institute with Chai and vivid discussions in our group were legendary and friendship building. Since I am back in Germany I take weekly online class with Raza. It is a wonderful learning experience and I am so thankful for the wonderful material that Raza prepares. Be it day to day spoken Urdu or Urdu prose or poetry, we cover a vast range of topics. At the moment we are going through a poetry course Raza has assembled for beginners and his vocabulary lists are amazingly well prepared in Devnageri English and Urdu. Who ever is interested in Urdu literature, be it prose or poetry - Raza is so patient, kind and knowledgeable. Thank you so much!

I spent two months taking full-time in-person classes at Zabaan, and I'm very glad that I did. All of my teachers (Tamanna, Anita, Priya) were top notch. They are super knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Their expertise in teaching Hindi as a second language was so valuable, and I would love to continue classes with them in the future.
